The actual numbers in the first 5 years would be larger than 1000/7 of
course, because you have to assume that a certain number leave after taking
OWLs, so that years 6 and 7 will be smaller than years 1-5

Some of the implications are difficult to deal with, though. If you've got
30 per house, then some of the professors (Snape, Hagrid, Sprout) are
teaching classes of 60! Not even a teacher in a sink comprehensive has to
deal with that...



My (Elihu's) answer:

If you say the average year has 143 (exactly 1001/7), you can still have some years smaller than others. lets say that in Harry's year, slightly less than 1 quarter ended up being Gryffindors. You could easily, in my opinion, from a group of 135 students, have 30 Gryffindors instead of 34.
